The experience
463 steps inside the largest brick dome ever built, with the Duomo complex included.
An entry ticket up Brunelleschi’s Dome, completed in 1436 without external buttresses using a self-supporting herringbone brick pattern still studied by engineers today, climbing 463 steps between its inner and outer shells to a terrace with a 360-degree view over the city’s terracotta rooftops.
The same ticket includes the rest of the Duomo complex — the Cathedral, Baptistery, Crypt, Bell Tower and Duomo Museum — allowing a self-paced visit across all of Piazza del Duomo’s monuments over multiple days.
